The way to perform the commandment of lightening Hanukah menorah for 8 days is to light it with pure olive oil and cotton wicks, since their light is pure and it causes us to remember the light of the Menorah which was lit with olive oil. One may also use candles made of wax. The menorah itself should be pretty and can be made of metal or glass. The eight candles of the menorah must be in a straight line with the Main candle, the "shamash" a little bit above them. Any menorah which is fancily shaped in a circle or square... is not permitted to be used since the candles must be in a straight line and none may be higher or lower than the others. There must also be enough space between one candle and another so that the flames of each are not intermingled. On the first night of Hanukah, one light is lit and on the next night another light is added and so on, until the eighth night when all the lights are lit. This procedure of additional light recalls the greatness and growth of the miracle. The light tells the old story of victory and miracles, and it symbols the growing light of Israel. |

The eight days of Hanukah are days of games for the children of Israel. The most popular game is the Dreidle game. The four Hebrew letters which appear on the four corners of a dreidel remind us of the miracle of Hanukah: Noon
=Nes(miracle) Yea, the miracle of the oil, that lasted for eight days... Dreidles had been made of wood or copper in the past, and today they're made of plastic also. Since a dreidle has a pointed "leg", the player can turn it around itself till the movement stops. |
